Sainsburys No Longer 24 Hours


Recommended Posts

Lots of signs and leaflet up in Sainsburys DKH today informing one and all that the store will only open from 7am to midnight from next week.


I wonder if this is a wider Sainsburys business decision to lower costs. I thought their profits were OK? And DKH is apparently one of their more profitable stores.

Damn - now I can no longer play "dodge the overladen roll-pallette", "chicane through the strewn packaging", "avoid the "street" language of the shelf stackers" and "spot the open check-out", that was a night-time trip to DKH Sainsbos.

Oh must have misread leaflet - I saw it briefly (while in nights mode fug) and thought it was going to be 24hrs Mon am to midnight Fri, then 7-midnight on Saturday... not that I have an early hr shopping habit!

things cant be picture perfect 24/7? if you want empty aisles, your not gunna find it there! its always busy.

and from i read the leaflet, 7-00:00 mon-fri 7-10 sat and 11-5 sunday (im assuming they will still open for browsing at 10:30 on a sunday?!)

Just rechecked in the store and, nope, no more 24 hour shopping from the 9 May. Bookhopper had it right:


7am - Midnight Mon-Fri

7am - 10pm Saturday

11am - 5pm Sunday

Can't agree with you more that would be great.

... am sure the massive Sainsburys in Sydenham is much busier than ED Sainsburys.

must only be that sainsburys that is changing its opening hours as no mention of hours changing in my store.


I also would have thought the Sydnenham store was busier than DKH bearing in mind its a superstore

    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
    • Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
    • Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
